Notes from Review 2022

[octylFractal]

Pre-Season:

• Better programmer training
  • Add to the wiki
• More assignment of things to do, when people are here
  • Full project assignment, followups in a day or two, etc.
  • Daily standups!
• VisualVM debugging the robot
• Re-think control systems
  • XBOX etc. controllers?
  • Or come up with a labelling system consistent across all the robots, to define a new set of "standard keys" that are used in our team
• Status LEDs
  • RGB makes the bot go faster I swear
• Encoder lib to make abs encoders a breeze
  • 5818 lib
• WHATS? THAT? DAGGER ALTERNATIVE!!!!
• More outreach (longevity of the team)
• Fix up our RR website
• Test failure cases
• Spider Eyes improvements

During Season:

• !!! Reduce status frames every year!!!!!! (on the motors)
• !!! Check CAN usage every year!!!!!! (it's on the DS)
• !!! Check current limits every year!!!!!! (on the motors)
• Drive the bot into an obstacle to check for breaker blows
• Motion Magic is probably good

At comp:

• Keep running system checks
• Try reviewing the bot for shorts more often
• Might it be a good idea to avoid putting motors, cables, etc. on deployable objects
  • Improve RELIABILITY!
